THE SELECTION AND EMPLOYMENT OF HIGH SCHOOL 

TEACHERS 

I. Introduction 

The following brief statement of the conditions and methods relat- 
ing to selection and employment of teacLers is offered v/ith the belief 
that Boards of Education generally are desirous of doing the very 
best possible for their schools. As a rule they appreciate the import- 
ance and value of having well qualified teachers, but frequently find 
themselves at a loss to know just what to do or were to go to get the 
teachers they need. It is with a sincere desire to be helpful that this 
brief bulletin has been prepared and issued. 

The writer has assumed that the elementary schools have been the 
first care of Boards, and that the best possible provision has been made 
for efficient instruction in the elementary grades. Indeed, many of 
the suggestions which follow would apply equally well in either case- 

II. General Character of High School Work as Affecting the 
Selection of Teachers 

The studies and exercises of the high school are much more varied 
in character than those of the elementary schools. This is due to the 
fact that the development of civilization has resulted in building up 
widely varying interests as represented in the field of learning. The 
necessity for wide variation in subjects taught is also apparent in the 
widely varying needs of the different occupations for which the schools 
are expected to prepare. 

This state of things adds greatly to the problem of selecting high 
school teachers. The number of subjects offered in a given curriculum 
as well as the relationship existing among these subjects needs to be 
taken into consideration. The employment of all the teachers qualified 
to teach only a few common subjects, as language and history, or 
mathematics and physics, will leave some important subjects entirely 
unprovided for. Teachers should be so selected as to provide as equit- 
ably as possible for the teaching of aU subjects offered in the cur- 
riculum. 

III. Qualifications Demanded of High School Teachers 

The very nature of the subjects to be taught in high schools calls 
for a high grade of scholarship. Here the thought processes are to be 



developed and the pupils taught to find out the truth for themselves 
in the study of books and of nature. Above all, ideals of good scholar- 
ship are to be inculcated, a process for which no mere smattering of 
the subjects to be taught can possibly qualify the teacher. 

At the same time it is quite as desirable that the teacher possess 
those personal qualities which are essential in those who are to under- 
take the control and direction of the activities of high school girls and 
boys- Teachers should therefore be selected for the quality and 
strength of character which they are found to possess. 

Thus scholarship and personality become the prime considerations. 
Of course there is an advantage in favor of the teacher who has, along 
with these qualities, a reasonable amount of experience ; but experience 
alone can not make up for either one of the fundamental qualities 
named above. It frequently happens that Boards pay a good price 
for experience when if the character of that experience were known 
it would be found to disqualify rather than to recommend the employ- 
ment of the candidate. 

One of the requirements which should be understood by the candi- 
date seeking employment is the capacity and willingness of the teacher 
to do " team work, ' ' — to cooperate with principal and teachers in those 
little extraordinary services which the individual in any community 
should contribute to the common good. 

In the matter of scholarship the Senate of the University of Illinois 
recently approved the following recommendation from the Committee 
on Educational Policy : 

' ' That a statement be issued by the University to the effect that it 
is important to the welfare of the high schools of the State and to the 
high-school work of the high-school graduates that only those who have 
had four years ' work of college grade beyond the four-year high-school 
course, or who have done work equivalent to the same, should be ap- 
pointed in accredited high schools as teachers of the subjects of the 
ordinary high-school curriculum — exclusive, that is, of music and voca- 
tional and industrial subjects." 

Thus while the University does not say to the accredited high 
schools that only teachers having the grade of scholarship mentioned 
will be approved, especial emphasis is put upon this standard as relat- 
ing directly to the welfare of the high schools. 

Attention may here be called to the fact that a similar standard 
of scholarship is required by the North Central Association of Colleges 
and Secondary Schools in its accrediting of high schools. Also that 
most of the states granting subsidies to high schools require a similar 



qualification on the part of high school teachers. California goes even 
beyond this and requires master's degrees in many cases. 

IV. Methods of Selection and Nomination of High School Teachers 

The source of supply of high school teachers must necessarily be 
chiefly from the colleges and universities, including normal schools 
doing four years of work of college grade. In all these institutions 
some one is assigned the duty of answering calls from superintendents 
and boards for the recommendation of teachers to fill vacancies that 
have arisen or new positions that have been created in certain high 
schools. 

To such committees or secretaries having in charge the appoint- 
ments work of an institution school authorities desiring teachers may 
apply usually with the expectation of prompt attention to such calls 
and of reliable recommendations as to the character of the candidates 
named- 

Generally speaking the superintendent or principal of a high school 
should be permitted some choice in the matter of teachers to be em- 
ployed. In fact, if these officials are what they should be, they should 
be requested to nominate their assistants subject to approval by the 
Board. 

V. The Problem of Salaries 

There are many who seem not to understand the problem of salaries 
of high-school teachers. This is probably due to the fact that the con- 
ditions governing this part of the problem are not well understood. 
In the first place the preparation of high school teachers costs more 
than that of most elementary teachers. Then there are fewer people 
seeking to teach in high schools in proportion to the number of posi- 
tions than are seeking elementary teaching positions. 

In the case of some special lines of high school teaching, such as 
agriculture, commercial work and manual training those best qualified 
for such positions are also in demand in the various practical fields 
which they represent. Thus the competition is stronger and salaries 
of these special teachers must be usually a little better than salaries 
of teachers of academic subjects in order to interest people trained 
for these lines of work in school teaching. 

Superintendents and boards should study these conditions care- 
fully and be prepared to meet the needs when seeking to employ 
teachers. To this end the following tabular presentation of teachers' 
salaries in high school districts will be found helpful :

In order to secure the best results, all things considered, it is desir- 
able to so arrange the selection and appointment of teachers as to 
provide for as many degrees of promotion in a given school as would 
be consistent with the best management of any given situation. 

Every time a board of education employs inferior teachers at rela- 
tively low salaries, or lends itself to acts which make the teaching 
position a more precarious one, it is inevitably doing that which is 
likely to increase the difficulties in the way of securing properly 
trained teachers for our high schools.
